Documenting Software Architectures using UML
نویسندگان
چکیده
As software systems become large and more complex, focus on main design issues is shifted from algorithms and data structures. Software architecture, which represents high-level organization of software system, brings whole new set of design issues: overall system organization, global control structures, communication protocols, data access and synchronization, as well as choosing between different design solutions. In this paper, ways of using UML to document component and connector views are described. Following elements of component and connector view will be described using UML: components and component types, connectors and connector types, ports, roles, systems and properties.

متن کاملUML-based Approach for Documenting and Specializing Frameworks Using Patterns and Concern Architectures
Documenting an application framework is a non-trivial task. The most challenging part is the specialization interface that is used to derive specialized versions of the framework. Application developers using the framework should be able to grasp easily the associated classes and their collaborations. Patterns have provided partial support but in the case of highly complicated software platform...
متن کاملUsing UML Profiles for Documenting Web-Based Application Frameworks
The Web now offers an exceptional infrastructure for the development of distributed collaborative services and applications. However, most of the existing applications only make use of the Web access and visualization facilities, without exploiting its distributed-processing potential capabilities. Web technologies are currently more focused on the provision of semantics to data and the design ...
متن کاملTowards a UML Profile for Software Architecture Descriptions
To formally describe architectures of software systems, specific languages called Architecture Description Languages (ADLs) have been developed by academic institutions and research labs. However, more and more research and industrial projects are using the standard Unified Modeling Language (UML) for representing software architectures of systems. In this paper, we focus on how to extend the U...

—As we know that " the Unified Modelling Language (UML) is a language for specifying, visualizing, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of software systems, as well as for business modelling and other non-software systems " and many enterprises are now using it to product their software. In the market, there are some well-known UML supported tools as IBM Rational, Together, and Poseidon…...
